Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens

Chapter 376 Void God? Just a Miner

A universe spanning trillions of light-years hangs suspended in the void, its immense power overwhelming all directions; the true gods and the lords of the universe remain immersed in ultimate awe.

But amidst this deathly silence and awe, a piercing crack suddenly appeared on the sacred universe of the Mountain Dweller not far away!

The crack, which was initially as thin as a hair, spread wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant covered the entire barrier of the Holy Land universe.

The vast territory spanning 7.2 billion light-years, the universe that had just surpassed the two holy lands of the Eastern Emperor and the Purple Moon, suddenly dimmed in an instant. The originally solid cosmic origin collapsed like a tide, the barriers cracked inch by inch, and finally collapsed with a roar.

The vast Holy Land universe collapsed without warning!

"The shockwave of the universe collapsing is not very large within the cosmic ocean."

But for those true gods and cosmic masters, it was like encountering a giant wave and a raging storm; they were instantly impacted and blown away for several light-years, tens of light-years, before finally stopping.

Everyone's hearts sank, their expressions changed drastically, and their extreme awe was instantly replaced by bone-chilling fear.

"The sacred universe of the progenitor of the Mountain Dwellers—has collapsed?!"

Thor screamed in disbelief.

"They just finished their promotion, how could this be—"

The ironclad rule for cultivators is that a small universe or even a sacred universe is connected to the true god's heart of its master. The collapse of a universe means that its master has perished!

Having just witnessed the two progenitors establish the Holy Land Universe and lay an immortal foundation, one of the progenitors suddenly fell. This unexpected tragedy left all the true gods and the lords of the universe at a loss.

Luo Feng clenched his fists, his eyes filled with astonishment and anxiety. The Chaos City Lord also frowned, his divine sense frantically sweeping across the void, but he could not find even a trace of the Mountain Guest's aura.

Panic spread like a tide, and the vast void fell into chaos. Just then, a pale golden light slowly spread out from the vast universe spanning trillions of light-years, from the Azure Sun Ancestor.

Xu Qing's figure slowly emerged from the radiance.

His robes fluttered, the chaotic energy around him dissipated automatically, and the pressure of a universe spanning trillions of light-years spread with his figure. As soon as Xu Qing stood in the void, the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.

"The progenitor!"

Luo Feng bowed first, and the Chaos City Lord and the other True Gods and Universe Lords also came to their senses and bowed in unison, their voices full of urgency.

"The sacred land of the progenitor of the Mountain Dwellers has collapsed. Could it be—could it be that he has perished?"

Everyone was baffled as to what was going on.

Perhaps only the Qingyang Ancestor, whose cultivation surpassed that of the Holy Land's founder, could know the truth.

Everyone was talking at once, all filled with anxiety. After all, the Mountain Guest was the creator of the Earth lineage. He had just stepped into the Holy Land and suffered such a calamity. No one could accept it.

Faced with everyone's eagerness, Xu Qing simply raised his hand. That seemingly casual gesture carried an undeniable power, silencing all the voices.

His gaze swept over the crowd, his voice calm and even, yet clearly carrying in all directions: "It's alright, the Mountain Guest did not perish."

One sentence left everyone stunned.

If it wasn't a physical death, then why did the Holy Land universe collapse?

Xu Qing seemed to see through everyone's doubts and added calmly, "He took advantage of this breakthrough to pass through reincarnation and used the secret technique of reincarnation."

The secret method to transcend reincarnation!

When these two words were uttered, the crowd fell silent, though they did not understand them. Although they did not know the specifics of the cycle of reincarnation, nor the origin of the secret method of reincarnation, as long as the Qingyang Ancestor spoke, it would be absolutely convincing.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Xu Qing stopped talking about the Mountain Guest. He raised his fingertips and countless golden streams of light flew out from them. Each stream of light was wrapped in a profound secret technique and flew straight towards Luo Feng, the Lord of Chaos City, and other True Gods and Lords of the Universe.

"This is an ancient cultivator's secret method for advancement, a complete cultivation system that can help you break through your shackles and become a true god, or even an existence that surpasses a true god," Xu Qing's voice rang out calmly.

"From now on, you should each devote yourselves to cultivation."

The complete cultivation system of ancient cultivators?!

Although the mystery is unknown, just looking at the three great cosmic forbidden zones makes it clear how powerful the ancient cultivators were.

Most of them were probably created by powerful beings from prehistoric civilizations.

The eyes of all the true gods and the lords of the universe instantly shone brightly. The moment they received the stream of light, they sensed the profound mystery within the secret technique, and they were all so excited that their whole bodies trembled.

This is a secret technique personally passed down by the Qingyang Ancestor, a tremendous opportunity!

"Many thanks to Ancestor Qingyang!"

Everyone bowed and kowtowed in unison, their voices filled with gratitude and awe. Without the slightest hesitation, they all piloted their spaceships and treasures, respectfully retreating from this void, leaving only Xu Qing and his enormous miniature universe, quietly suspended in the chaos.

After everyone left, Xu Qing turned around, his figure blurred, and he stepped into his own miniature universe.

Deep in the universe, a chaotic sea of ​​energy surged, all of which was the chaotic energy absorbed by Xu Qing's small universe. In the universe, there were no world planes or stars, as if it were an empty space.

However, within the entire mini-universe, there are forty-five demiplanes enveloped by layers of primordial power, suspended in the center of the chaotic sea. Each demiplane is slowly absorbing the primordial energy provided by the mini-universe. The earth, water, fire, and wind within the planes have already begun to take shape, and hazy laws flow within them.

Above these demiplanes, the laws of time flow, with a time flow rate ten thousand times slower than the outside world, accelerating their formation.

Beside the demiplane, a colossal figure was perched atop the chaotic sea of ​​energy; it was none other than Morosa.

At this moment, its body was several times larger than before, and it had been promoted to an Eternal True God. It sensed Xu Qing's arrival and immediately bowed in greeting, its voice like muffled thunder: "Master."

Xu Qing stood in the void, his gaze sweeping lightly over the forty-five demiplanes, and said, "These demiplanes have been placed under the time acceleration of my universe by ten thousand times."

Morosa raised its head, a glint of light flashing in its eyes. It naturally knew the significance of a time acceleration of ten thousand times. A thousand years outside was ten million years here. Such a speed was enough to allow a demiplane to grow to perfection at an unimaginable pace.

"With a ten-thousand-fold acceleration, these demiplanes can reach the perfection of their laws from birth in just tens of millions of years, not hundreds of billions of years." Xu Qing's voice was calm and unwavering.

Morosa's heart jolted, and his eyes surged with extreme ecstasy.

Millions of years are but a thousand epochs! The primordial universe's rulers slumber for hundreds of millions of epochs at a time, while the gestation of a World Beast King requires trillions of epochs. It is born only after the primordial universe is destroyed, and only by devouring the primordial universe can it grow into a peak World Beast. If not for the supreme opportunity and pressure from its master, it would probably still only be a third-tier World Beast. How could it have so quickly become a World Beast King, and even stepped into the realm of Eternal True God?

For it, billions of years is nothing more than the time it takes to take a nap. Now, it can enjoy such a feast in just tens of millions of years. How could it not be overjoyed? For the powerful beings of the cosmic sea, such a time is nothing more than the blink of an eye.

Xu Qing's gaze fell on Morosa, and he said calmly, "Once the demiplane is complete, after you have absorbed and digested it, your cultivation will be sufficient to accompany me into the Origin Continent and lend me a hand."

The forty-five Yu Shen, who had evolved to the perfection of the laws, were completely devoured. The sheer power of their origins was unimaginable, enough to propel Morosa from his current status as an Eternal True God to at least the second level of the God-King realm.

It's not that they're unwilling to wait any longer to allow the demiplanes to evolve to their fullest potential, but rather that these demiplanes originate from the infinitely terrifying multiverse, and their very nature dictates their evolutionary limits—even if they absorb the pure energy of the Swallowed Star World, they can only evolve to a maximum of several hundred billion light-years. Reaching a trillion light-years is already the limit; any further and they will collapse on their own.

Even so, this was an extremely rare and exquisite delicacy for Morosa. Its eyes blazed with intense joy, and it bowed its head again, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Master!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly and said, "Once you have devoured all these universes and passed through the cycle of reincarnation to reach the Origin Continent, I will give you higher-level food to help you grow into a peak world beast."

Morosa was shocked again and quickly thanked them once more.

Realm Beasts are born devourers. They don't need to cultivate deliberately or comprehend the Dao; they can grow to the ultimate realm simply by constantly devouring. Their innate mastery of the Great Dao of Destruction allows them to reach the pinnacle of every realm, making them virtually invincible within their own realm.

Of course, digestion and integration after being devoured still take time.

However, given enough food, it would probably take Morosa ten epochs to grow into a peak world beast.

Such speed, which is unimaginably heaven-defying to ordinary powerhouses on the Origin Continent, is still far too long in Xu Qing's eyes.

Ten eras is equivalent to billions of years on the Origin Continent.

"Fortunately, the Origin Continent also has time acceleration compared to the Primitive Universe," Xu Qing thought to himself.

Time in the Origin Continent is far longer than in the Primitive Universe; one day there is equivalent to a year on Earth. Moreover, its own time flow is ten thousand times faster than that of the Primitive Universe.

With this superposition, the time flow rate is increased by a hundred million times. In other words, as long as he stays on the Origin Continent for a thousand years, Morosa can complete all the devouring and digestion, pass through reincarnation, and arrive on the Origin Continent to help him.

Soon after, an ancient-looking boat flew out of Xu Qing's miniature universe and sped straight toward the Inclined Peak Realm.

As the ruler of chaos, Xu Qing was immune to the many rules and obstacles of the cosmic sea, and his journey was unimpeded. He already knew the approximate location of "reincarnation", and the ship was extremely fast. In no time, he arrived at a vast and boundless void region.

"What is that?" Xu Qing raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the empty space in front of him.

This area was deathly silent and empty, except for a huge passage entrance hanging in front of it. Colorful energy flowed and surged on the surface of the entrance, and countless blurry figures could be seen passing through the passage, some human, some beast, all with different shapes. At a glance, there were billions of figures in a row, which was extremely eerie.

"It is reincarnation." Xu Qing murmured to himself. A powerful summoning force came from the passage. At the same time, the supreme rules of the cosmic sea also emitted waves, clearly guiding him to step into the passage.

And the maps passed down through generations of reincarnation all point to this very place.

Heading towards the passage, Xu Qing soon found himself in a vibrant world.

Xu Qing was extremely fast, after all, his apparent realm was already that of a Chaos Ruler, which was many times stronger than a Void True God.

With a whoosh, the spaceship flew out of the cycle passage.

A vast, desolate land appeared before me.

The vast landmass seemed to stretch to infinity, many times larger than the primordial universe. High in the night sky, trillions of kilometers above, lay the celestial dome of the originating continent, where countless "stars" shone.

"Every star is a miniature universe, wow!" Xu Qing exclaimed in amazement.

The sky was almost filled with stars, many times more than the sand on the ground, which gives you an idea of ​​how many true gods existed on the Origin Continent.

After all, when I was in my hometown, it was like trying to understand the laws of nature through layers of fog; my perception was too vague.

On the Origin Continent, the layers of mist disappeared, making it feel like viewing the laws up close! This also greatly reduced the difficulty of comprehending the laws.

The continent of origin is also more likely to produce powerful individuals.

Not only that, on the Origin Continent, the abundant energy between heaven and earth was transformed into a tangible mist.

Just by looking at it, Xu Qing could see that the vines on the trees, the branches, and even the stones on the ground were all divine weapons of extraordinary quality, capable of easily killing even the Lord of the Universe.

Xu Qing's divine sense was so vast that even on the Origin Continent, he could see scenes hundreds of millions of light-years away.

In his field of vision, some children from wild tribes were playing and frolicking, picking up branches from the ground.

Even though the scene of these children grabbing tree branches and playing around looks a bit funny and childlike, it is still quite amusing.

But if it were the primordial universe's ruler, he would probably be terrified.

This is not just children playing around. The power emanating from the children's roughhousing is clearly the might of a sixth-order universe lord, approaching that of a true god in the primordial universe!

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.

"Tsk, the so-called Lords of the Universe and Lords of Laws are nothing but children in the Origin Continent. The so-called battle between the fifth-order Lords of the Primordial Universe is less damaging than picking up a stone and throwing it at each other in the Origin Continent."

Not only that, but Xu Qing also had a large number of so-called holy land lords and void gods who had transcended reincarnation.

Some are Void Gods who live in the wild, with tens of thousands of Gods under their command; they are basically lords of a savage tribe.

Some were sent out from the city to gather food materials.

Originating from the creatures of the mainland, most of the lower and middle classes rely on hunting exotic beasts for a living, and many are also responsible for collecting and processing exotic beast materials, which has formed a very large industrial chain.

As for service jobs within a large city? The entry requirements are extremely high.

Without sufficient talent and ability, one is not qualified for these service jobs.

Even a Void God would consider being a cook a job, enough to make a living in the city.

Those Void Gods who couldn't survive there could only do tasks like gathering food, or even become wild savages and become savage lords.

Of course, the rise of the Tomato Universe cannot be separated from mining.

Xu Qing looked into the distance.

Within the chaotic ruins that form the center of the city, countless Void Gods are dividing the chaotic stones and chaotic crystals condensed from the chaotic ruins into small pieces and stacking them neatly before the Eternal God oversight.

"If the Qilin Ancient Emperor had actually come to the Origin Continent back then, he probably would have received the same treatment—" Xu Qing shook his head upon seeing this.

Ascension to become a miner is something that only the Tomato Universe could come up with.

The so-called strongest beings in the primordial universe are nothing more than savages on the Origin Continent who are not even qualified to be miners. They would be kicked out of the city if they couldn't pay their living expenses.
